Amish Vinegar Pie image

This pie is opaque, quivery and spicy and the taste of vinegar is not overly pronounced. If you did not know it contained vinegar. I don't think you would guess. I love to serve this pie to guests and watch the look on their face when I mention the ingredients.

Time 50m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 large egg yolks
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon mace
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (9 inch) baked pie crusts
3 large egg whites
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cider vinegar
6 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • Combine the flour, sugar, salt and spices and blend into the egg yolks.
  • Add the vinegar and mix and then add the warm water.
  • Simmer over boiling water for 25 minutes or until the mixture is thickened -- the water should just reach the bottom of the top pan.
  • Stir in the butter and cool slightly, about 15-20 minutes, without stirring.
  • Pour the warm filling into the baked shell.set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat together the egg whites, salt and vinegar until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time, continue beating until stiff peaks form.
  • Sprinkle in the cornstarch just before the beating is completed. The peaks should not topple over when the beater is raised.
  • Spread the meringue over the filling all the way to the edge of the pastry.
  • Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the meringue is golden brown.
  • Cool the pie completely and then refrigerate.

I'm not a big fan of vinegar, but I thought I'd give this pie a try. I'm glad I did, because it's actually pretty good! The vinegar flavor is subtle, and it's perfectly balanced by the sugar and spices.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a cup of coffee or tea.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this pie was not it. The vinegar flavor is overpowering, and the filling is too runny.

This is the best vinegar pie I've ever had! The crust is flaky and buttery, and the filling is perfectly tart and sweet.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be perfect with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This pie is a great way to use up leftover vinegar. I had some apple cider vinegar that was about to go bad, so I decided to try this recipe. I'm glad I did, because it turned out great!

I've made this pie twice now and it's a hit every time! The vinegar flavor is subtle, but it really adds a unique dimension to the pie. I also love the addition of the raisins and spices.

This Amish vinegar pie is a delightful treat that is both tangy and sweet. The filling is perfectly balanced, with a hint of spice from the cinnamon and nutmeg. The crust is flaky and buttery, and it pairs perfectly with the filling.
